The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said Taal Volcano in Batangas province south of Manila blasted steam, ash and pebbles up to 10 to 15 kilometres into the sky in a dramatic escalation of its growing restiveness, which began last year.
"We have asked people in high-risk areas, including the volcano island, to evacuate now ahead of a possible hazardous eruption," Solidum said. Fallen ash covered the runways at Manila's international airport Sunday night. All departing and arriving international and domestic flights were suspended "due to volcanic ash in the vicinity of the airport" and nearby air routes, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines said.Aviation officials also ordered the closure of Clark International Airport north of the capital after ash fell in the area.
The volcanology institute reminded the public that the small island where the volcano lies is a "permanent danger zone," although fishing villages have existed there for years. It asked nearby coastal communities "to take precautionary measures and be vigilant of possible lake water disturbances related to the ongoing unrest."
Authorities recorded a swarm of earthquakes, some of them felt with rumbling sounds, and a slight inflation of portions of the 1,020-foot volcano ahead of Sunday's steam-driven explosion, officials said.
I'll be in Toronto tomorrow, Jan. 13 and will be taking a flight on Jan. 14 back to the Philippines. Anyone in downtown Toronto willing to donate DUST MASKS please contact me. I will personally deliver your donations to the victims. Thanks. TaalVolcano
Here is an excellent example of the planetary forces which affect ClimateChange; the volcano. Because it can't be taxed or terrorized by the FakeNewsTaliban or our crooker primeMinister, CTVNews can't be bothered mentioning this is the sort of thing that can change climate
